Ha. 

If Perl is so hard, then why the HELL do so many people know it?

Don't restrict yourself because you've 'heard' something. Give it a 
try.

Go for the job, if it's one you think you'd like. Have them help you
learn the thing. Give it a go!


Pick up whatever Open Content documents you can about Perl, explore. 
If you can understand even a little, grab the job. Don't expect to 
understand everything without training - just a bit. Just enough.

At Netizen, we can teach the basics of Perl in a day. (The whole
course is a four-day course, and includes CGI and database interfaces).

Training notes are at http://www.netizen.com.au/services/training/
